About the Person Schema Generator
Person markup has no dedicated rich result in Google Search, but it still has a job: it states clearly who a person is, which organization they work for and which online profiles belong to them. That helps search engines and AI systems connect an author's articles, social accounts and company, which supports entity understanding rather than a visual enhancement.
This person schema generator covers name, jobTitle, worksFor, image, sameAs and knowsAbout, and builds the JSON-LD in your browser. Put the block on the person's author or bio page, then link to that page from the author.url property in your Article markup. List only profiles the person controls in sameAs, keep knowsAbout to real areas of expertise, and avoid inflated titles. Accurate, consistent details across the web matter more than the markup itself.
How to use it
- Enter the person's full name, job title and employer.
- Add a profile photo URL and official profile links for sameAs.
- List a few topics in knowsAbout that reflect real expertise.
- Copy the JSON-LD to the author or bio page and link it from articles.
Frequently asked questions
Does Person schema create a rich result?
No. Google has no dedicated rich result for Person markup. Its value is in describing who a person is and connecting them with their work and profiles, which can support Google's understanding of authors and entities. Do not expect a visual change in search results from adding it.
How do I connect Person schema to my articles?
Place the Person block on the author's profile page and give it an @id or url. In each article's Article markup, set author to a Person with the same name and url. That consistent link helps search engines tie the articles to the same author.
Should I use Person or ProfilePage markup on an author page?
They work together. ProfilePage describes the page as a profile, with the Person as its mainEntity. Person describes the individual. On an author bio page you can use ProfilePage with a nested Person, which covers both the page and the person it is about.
